Lost Son 

So how could I know
The things you didn’t tell me were making you 
so unbelievably lonely and sad 

So why couldn’t you show me
the thoughts you kept inside 
your fortress of gold held by a legion of wardens


My son, my son, where did you go?
I miss you more than you could ever know
I pray for your safety every day
Hoping you'll find your way back to me someday


So I should have known
The path you had to choose was the one of your own 
be guided by angels on all your ways


My son, my son, where did you go?
I miss you more than you could ever know
I pray for your safety every day
Hoping you'll find your way back to me someday

Lost Son

Grey on Grey is the only song in our entire catalogue which was entirely written by Mark, lyrics and lyric melody included. We first performed and recorded this song acoustically with our live band back when Watchglass first began. I cannot help but remember, as an incy wincy thorn in my side, that our bass player, Chris, happened to comment very enthusiastically on the lyrics…, just something like “excellent lyrics,” but as I was the lyricist for the band and he’d never made such a comment on any of my songs, AND because Mark professed himself not to be a lyrics writer (or singer, which he can also do quite beautifully), well it almost felt unfair… almost. I was far too enamoured with the whole new vista of singing songs and writing songs to be put off by lack of a compliment. I just noted it to myself and thanked heavens I was at least able to sing the song and that I was evidently working with an all round song genius (albeit overly humble about some of his skills). This single is a new take on Mark’s masterpiece, Grey on Grey (aka Blind Princess).

Blind princess running down the stars
Playing in the dark
Lit by reflections neon lights wet streets
We all want to shine
So bright

I want to know if you remember
All of my memories
I want mine to fade away
You just leave me hung and haunted now

I’m scattered and he is gone
Just like the rain falling from the heaven
Stain of my eyes are lost
In a kind of grey on grey.

And when you fell on me
Cold yet so soft
You soaked through to my skin
Shivered and I was gone
Lost in a kind of grey on grey
I’m like snow on a summer’s day
I know I’m not meant to stay

I’m scattered and he is gone
Just like the rain falling from the heaven
Stain of my eyes are lost
In a kind of grey

Playing in the dark
Running down the stars
Blind princess
Playing in the dark
Running down the stars
In a kind of grey

Grey On Grey

The acoustic idea I presented to Mike to evolve was based on the idea of creating a Beatles meets The Doors vibe.
Magic Mike worked his wonderful skill ranges including his great harmonies and invited Axel on board to give it the Doorsey Hammond/Wurlitzer sound.
A massive thanks for their incredible contributions and for being just really good people. 
The second one from me & Mike on This Sound Society project.
Hopefully more planned for the future but I think Mike is far to popular as everyone wants a piece of him. The word prolific can’t even keep up with him !
His turn out of songs is truly remarkable so if you haven’t already listened to his music go and check him out under Mike Fox along with Axel Menningen. 
I hope you like it may be a bit of a grower for some but it’s just a fun quirky pop tune.

Chorus 
oh Miss Polly~Anna  Swift
I know I should’ve of kissed 
Your red glossy lips 
Oh Miss Polly ~ Anna Swift
They looked so inviting 
like a  perfect gift
Oh Miss  Polly-Anna Swift
I thought you were forever the optimist 

V1
Your world is fluffy pink and perfectly round 
My world is spiky a little ugly & loud 
And When two worlds collide 
We need to compromise 
Put  our differences aside 
That’s  better now you smiled

Chorus 

V2 
So what’s my chances as i can be optimist
Did I blow it for you so I could taste your lips 
I’m hoping your thinking some good comes out of this
Even if it’s unlikely to be Mrs instead of Miss 

Finish on Chorus

I couln't resist adding a stadium rock guitar, drums and a funkbass to Pachelbel's great chords!

Pachelbel disturbed

Pitiless and relentless energy.
God or daemon?
Press play and burn alive!

New songwritten by David Cooper and Ralph Donkin.

Performed and produced by David Cooper.

Lyrics by Ralph Donkin:

She was knocking on the door of the age of consent
Almost all grown up waiting for the event
Looking oh so sweet and so innocent

Just a little flattered by her interest
Tried to play it cool but you'd never have guessed 
Feeling overwhelmed but truly blessed

Chorus

Through my eyes I wish you could see
See the things that I can see
And if you take me seriously
We'd be together 
Forever in perfect harmony

A penny for your thoughts is not a lot to pay
I'd gladly give a million just to hear you say
You know I think today could be your lucky day

Chorus

Bridge

When you want the present to last
The present soon becomes the past

Solo

Knew where I was going cos I'd been there before
Once bitten, twice shy, I don't care anymore
Think I'll take my chance, that's what life is for

poem / copyright jo richter:

folge  der fährte
in die tiefen der erde

kienharzgebärde
in den tiefen der erde

hangockerpferde
in den tiefen der erde

lautlos zur herde
aus den tiefen der erde

verstörte, verklärte
in den tiefen der erde

interlinear  translation: deep, deep down // follow the trail / into the deep earth // kindling gesture / deep down in the ground // ocre slope horses / deep down in the ground // stalking the herds / from the deep earth // lunatics, saints / deep down in the ground //
